Abstract

816,493. Steering vehicles. CLARK EQUIPMENT CO. June 18, 1957 [June 28, 1956], No. 19165/57, Classes 79(3) and 79(5) In a steering mechanism for vehicles required to make tightturns such as industrial trucks 12, Fig. 2, in Which a pair of wheels 16 are steered differentially, tie rods 102, 114 coupled to the wheels are actuated through crossed control arms 86, 108 attached to the vehicle by separate pivots 88, 124 and having their opposite ends connected to the tie rods 102, 114 and mutually connected by a third tie rod 96 at pivots 94, 112. The wheels 16 are centrally pivoted at 156, 158 on frames 18 Fig. 3 carrying electric motors 20 for supplying driving traction to the wheels and the tie rods 102, 114 are of arcuate shape to provide clearance when the wheels 16 are steered through 90 degrees as shown in Fig. 6. The steering handle 52 is connected through links 70, 72, torsion bar 78 and links 81, 82 to an intermediate pivot point 83 on one of the control arms 86. The tie rod 96 is adjustable in length by a nut 98 for varying the angle of intersection of the central arms 86, 108 as required. In a modification a tie rod 132, Fig. 6, is connected to the tie rods 102, 114 and steering arms 140, 140 by single pivots 144, 148.
